A mother who gave birth at a private hospital in Zeytinburnu received the funeral of her baby, who opened their eyes to the world in a healthy manner. The grieving family claimed that the baby died due to negligence and filed a complaint.
The tragic incident took place at a private hospital in the Zeytinburnu district of Istanbul. Alaaddin Taşdemir and Feride Taşdemir were expecting to welcome their fourth child, but they were only able to receive the funeral of their baby, who was born healthy, a day later.
WHILE BEING DISCHARGED, THEY TOOK HIM TO ANOTHER ROOM AND DID NOT INFORM FOR 4 HOURS
According to allegations, the baby, whom the family wanted to name Hamza, was born healthy at a private hospital in Zeytinburnu. On January 17, hospital staff began the discharge process, stating that there were no issues. Allegedly, when the family wanted to check on baby Hamza one last time, he was taken to another room and kept there for 4 hours. During this time, the family, who persistently asked about the baby's health status, was not given any information. The hospital management informed the family that they wanted to transfer the baby to another hospital. However, the private hospital that was to receive the transfer refused to accept the baby upon learning that he had died. The hospital later informed the family that the baby had passed away. The family, finding the situation suspicious, went to the police station to file a complaint against the hospital.
THE BABY'S FUNERAL WAS DELIVERED TO HIS GRIEVING FAMILY
Meanwhile, the deceased baby Hamza was taken to the Yenibosna Forensic Medicine Institution for an autopsy. After the autopsy procedures were completed, the baby's body was handed over to the family.
"THEY SAID THE CHILD WAS FINE, BUT HE STAYED IN 3-4 OTHER ROOMS"
Speaking about the incident, the baby's father, Aladdin Taşdemir, said, "We took my wife to the hospital on the 16th. She gave birth by cesarean section there. The child was born completely healthy, with no ailments. The mother was breastfeeding the child, and there were no issues. We were told we would be discharged on the 17th. My wife requested one last examination before leaving. Then they took the baby to another room. They did not return the baby, nor did they say anything. They said your child is fine, but he stayed there for 3-4 hours. I don't know what happened there. There is a lack of materials in the hospital. When we entered the hospital, the heaters were not working, and we stayed in the cold for 2-3 hours. There was no intubation. After staying there for 3-4 hours, they said we would transfer your child to another hospital. While the child had nothing wrong with him, by the time he was transferred to the other hospital, it was too late. We were not informed about the cause of death. Then we went to the police station and filed a complaint," he said.
